Things to come



I decided eachmonth to complete some small gift projects

These selvage potholders are cute
And would be handy as potholders


And pretty fabric, a washcloth and a cd case for pattern makes adorable ice cream holders

Keep in car glovebox to be handy

A holiday ice
Cream basket with these, sprinkles, sundae topins, maybe giftcard to ce cream place
Cool gift idea

April is month 4 so I need to catch up

Any cool small gifts you like to make???

Fabulous free Fridays


Last week was a bust.
Nobody cooks anymore I guess so no freebie will go out. 
I figure I will try a fun tutorial instead.

An easy button on towel project.

Grab a flat potholder, a towel and a button that fits in the  potholder loop

I was lucky enough to find a set of 2 potholders and got 2 towels for 2 sets

Some people cut the towel in half
I dont. 








Fold the towel in half lengthwise just like you would put it on your stove. 

Mark with pins or clips for the center 








Then widthwise gather it to the size of your potholder. Mark it with clips or pins









Find the center of your potholder folding the button loop side from top to bottom.
This is how it will attach to your stove









Sew on the center line thru the potholder and towel attaching them together 
They will be right sides together if that makes sense







Fold the potholder like you would to put it on the stove and attach button.

A cute and easy and useful project

And yes if you find plain towels they can add to your runner to make a kitchen set

Dont overlook funky colors
Teal or sage can go with holiday prints on your runner.
Take advantage of sales and what stores consider off season
(THEY are busy with browns and oranges right now so you may be able to score some teal or blue or gray for a great price)

Micro bowls or sets
Runners
Napkins
Placemats 
Towel for fridge or stove

Nice gift ideas if you think themes


You're welcome
